Brother in Christ,

The Archbishop ONLY had both of his hands in the top of the priest's head...
The other bishops (+Cox and +Loiselle)  had their hands central on his
shoulders... The priests on his shoulders and back.

Remember the Form of Ordering and Manner in the BCP 1928 is totally
different between that of a Priest and Bishop... Not to say anything
concerning the matter of intention.

The rubrics on page 546 (BCP 1928) allow after the prayer that "the Bishop
with the Priests present, shall lay their Hands severally upon the Head."

Follow the rubrics and be lawful.

He is now a priest according to Articles  XXIII...XXXIV... XXXVI

By His grace
